Chapter 369 - The Ghosts (5) (1/2)

”No... Really... I love you... but please release her first!” The Han Emperor's eyes were darting around between his beloved concubine and also his Ce Fei's ghost. The even more laughable thing he was... he still dared to beg for the wicked concubine's life. He looked heartbroken when he saw her beloved concubine being strangled heartlessly. However, there was also a hint of desperate love in his eyes when he looked at his Ce Fei.

No matter what she was still his concubine. If he couldn't protect her, how would the people see him? It was actually only his ego talking. The man was selfish and he actually only loved himself --- it was also the reason for his downfall.

In the end, what he did only made people feel more disgusted at him.

”Love?” Xiao Fang asked sarcastically. ”What a beautiful love that you have! It's so beautiful that it makes me want to puke!” Xiao Fang didn't bother to cover up her disgust once more. When she saw that the choke had become harder, Xiao Fang followed along by pretending to clutch her gist harder.

If she could, she really wanted to strangle that woman for real --- using her own hands. Judging from the Han Emperor's current performance, it seemed like he was really biased towards the wicked concubine, no wonder her mother's fate ended up so bad under both of their ruthless hands.

The onlookers could only shake their heads at this muddleheaded Emperor. How could they let such a person govern a kingdom? Could such a man make a good judgment? He couldn't even manage his own backyard. This kind of Emperor was easy to become a puppet ah~!

No wonder there was a list that contained the name that he wanted to remove. If he wasn't muddleheaded, how could he think of something as outrageous as that? Wanting to become a sole Monarch? Was he that crazy?! The foundation of this kingdom had been planned by the founding Emperor carefully, but he wanted to abolish the system and become a sole ruler.

How could people accept the Emperor's selfishness? If he planned to do something crazy, no one would be able to stop him ah~! No matter they were the officials who were loyal to him or not, no one agreed to this type of decision.

They started to believe that it might not just be a rumor ah~! Look at how the Han Emperor behaved himself! He loudly said that he loved his Ce Fei and that was the image that made the people admire him all this time because they saw how the Emperor searched for the woman like a lunatic back then. But in the end... it looked like that it was only an act! It was only his pride talking.

The officials' heart towards the Han Emperor became even colder. What made the Emperor change so much? He used to be an upright and full of aspiration man... Otherwise, how could so many people be loyal to him if he was this useless before?

They wondered how could they not see his change back then? They only realized it at this moment.

Their eyes turned to the wicked concubine and wonder to themselves. Was it because of her? If yes, it was better if that woman was strangled to death by the ghost! They could even cheer the ghost up if they could. There was a surging fire inside their hearts.

”Help --- Help me...!” The wicked concubine felt like she almost died and she could only see white blank space in front of her. This was the first time she felt afraid after she became the Han Emperor's concubine --- she was usually the one who tortured people ah~!

Yao Ying was worried about what happened because he knew the reason why the wicked concubine was being choked by the unknown thing. He stood in the darkness, guarding his wife by her side. Thus, he could see her movements clearly. She had stopped playing the qujin a long time ago. From where he stood, he could see the moon birthmark at the back of her neck suddenly started to shine brighter and brighter. Fortunately... he saw it in time, so he was able to cover it up by arranging her hair.

However, it seemed like Yao Ling didn't even realize that he had touched her. When he looked at her, it seemed like she was in a trance. Her usually pure and shining eyes suddenly changed color --- into red ones, honestly, Yao Ying also found it scary. If he didn't know she was his wife, he would certainly think that she was a ghost that was coming for an act of vengeance.

'What happened to her?' Yao Ying asked to himself. Yao Ling's sudden change made him feel baffled as well. He knew that she had learned something from the scrolls, but he didn't really pay attention. Yao Ying already told her to pay attention to what she had learned, don't learn if it was dangerous ah~!
